--------------------------+--------------------
configure allows to use a lot of external binaries, but not `git` for some
reason. However, MacPorts uses `git` as one of port fetch types. System
`git` may not exist (< 10.7) or may not be usable (< 10.9), and it is
undesirable to be required to activate `git` port every time git is needed
for something (that pulls a lot of dependencies). Like with `curl`, `git`
can be built in a separate MacPorts tree, so that the main installation
can use it instead of its own port.
